My secret desire

I could have done so many more things .  .  .

Some of the things I've done -- 
I've covered for Hillary saying she was just careless about her private server;
I've saddled corporations with rules and fees and will not unburden them with competitive world-wide tax rates;
I've created a class of true-believers that think the sky is falling from too much man made climate change (or should I say, too much person-made climate change?);
I've killed the coal industry and created a sea of solar panels and windmills;
I've launched partisan use of tax investigations;
I've preached uniting the country while dividing them into segments;
I've manipulated the health care industry;
I've handcuffed our military and marginalized our international friends;
I've drawn red lines and pushed the reset button (many times);
I've tempered the nuclear arms race in the Middle East by returning to Iran the billions of dollars that is rightfully theirs (and I hope they stop funding terrorism, I hope, I hope, I hope); 
I've watched ballgames with Cuban dictators while showing ISIL I'm not afraid of their terror attacks in Europe;
I've change the vocabulary of the military to gender-free combat, man made disasters, and extremism - there is no more Islamophobia;
I've made major moves to open our border with Mexico - no wall, just a free flow of people north;
I've defended sanctuary cities; 
I've defended every form of abortion.
The list goes on and on.

Just imagine if I had a lifetime appointment!

We are all sinners

From time to time, I have to trick and bully Congress into doing what I know is right. I promise a veto, they blink and I get to do what I want with my executive orders.  Like giving $500 to the United Nations to fund its climate change program to help poor countries with new technology. So what if that money could have helped folks in Flint with their water problem. One needs to have a vision for the whole planet.

Coal and gas plants now would likely save millions of people dying prematurely from opening burning of wood and dung in their homes. Solar will help once newer battery technology is in place. But I just can't allow for an interim solution with coal and natural gas. I don't know why. Maybe it's because we are all born sinners. And we've got to regulate folks behavior.

I've read Hsun Tzu, a Confucius scholar from the 4th century BCE.

Man’s nature is evil, good is the result of conscious activity. . .

A warped piece of wood must wait until it has been laid against the straightening board, steamed, and forced into shape before it can become straight. . . .  Similarly, since man’s nature is evil, it must wait for the instructions of a teacher before it can become upright, and for the guidance of ritual principles before it can become orderly.

In ancient times the wise kings realized that man’s nature is evil, and that he tends towards evil and violence and is not upright or orderly.
